Liz Phair Wind and the Mountain lyrics

You lose your way, you've gotta land
You've gotta make another plan
But sometimes I am too tired

You gotta smile, you've gotta play
You've gotta work another day
But sometimes I am too tired

You gotta raise your hand
And say, "I don't understand"
But there are days when I'm too tired

There are days when I'm just too tired
And the wind that I'm in
Screams on me, screams on me
Howls around me, howls around me

And I feel like I am a naked man
I've got nothing and no one in a stranger's land
And the wind will do me in

Everyday you've gotta run
You've got a job, you get it done
But sometimes I am too tired

You wanna roll in the grass
Kick your shoes off, have a laugh
But sometimes I am too tired

I wanna raise my hand and say
"I don't understand"
But there are days when I'm too tired

There are days when I'm just too tired
And the wind kicks in again and says
"Lean on me, lean on me

Rise above me, rise above me"

And it says, "Sailor, don't leave the channel now
Deep blue rollers are breaking across your bow
And the wind will guide you in"

So I went up the mountain
But all I saw was another mountain
So I came down the mountain
And I said, "Leave me here, Lord"

So I went up the mountain
But all I saw was another mountain
So I came down the mountain
And I said, "Leave me here, Lord"

Leave me in the valley
Let me rest my weary head
Give peace to Your survivor
Put all my fears to bed

You lose your way, you've gotta land
You've gotta make another plan
But sometimes I am inspired

You're gonna sing another song
You're gonna right another wrong
And sometimes I am inspired

You're gonna raise your hand and say
"I don't understand"
There are days when you get an answer
There are days when you find your answer
